Every organization needs to develop strategies that lead to achievement of the necessary outcomes. Within Clickstop, we look to every team member to contribute to the creation of these strategies.

It starts with identifying the long-term goals of the organization. Then each team works to develop strategies that help us achieve those goals. We look to each team members to identify additional strategies that connect to what the team and the organization are seeking to achieve.

This approach requires ownership, which is why we’ve placed the expectation of engagement upon our team members.  In other words, we expect commitment and aligned action with the mission, values, strategies and goals of our organization.  Engagement is ownership.

Our Q1 ‘Strategic’ award winner is Adam Durflinger. His engagement – ownership – produced great results for our US Cargo Control brand.

Displaying Ownership of the Outcomes

We recently created a new role within the US Cargo Control Sales team, and Adam has driven its development. The role was a strategic decision, but its success required the creation of additional strategies to ensure its success.  Adam provided this in the following ways:

• Using the available customer data to form and validate theories for how to drive sales and profitability.
• Test different phone scripts to see what is most successful and share his findings with the team so they too can apply new tactics in order to win the most business.
• Changing how we tactically approach warm leads who have already purchased from us and turn them into larger, repeat customers.

Return on Investment

From February – April, Adam had increased his direct revenue by 400%. Additionally, he passed on more qualified leads to our Business Development Team, which has produced additional revenue.

The quantitative results of his work are driven by the behaviors within our ‘Strategic’ Core Trait. And for that reason, he has been recognized as our Q1 ‘Strategic’ award winner.  Well done, Adam!
